Source: NPR
Rumors spread on social media over the winter: School kids with disabilities in a New York School District, including Mohawk children, were being confined by special education teachers in wooden boxes. Local school officials later confirmed that at least two boxes had been built and used by staff. Now, according to a state investigation, it appears that at least five elementary-age students with disabilities were confined in a "wooden box for a...

Another fresh product range set for the 1st of May event I'm attending this year where I'm hoping they'll go down well.
These pup mohawks are my first production run, if they do well I can invest in more fur colours to increase the range.
They'll also work on bike helmets, though the fur can get a bit scraggly if you're wearing them in all weathers.

I am, the one and only …
Most times, I find the WordPress daily prompt quite interesting. (See, there I go again with that Glasgow tendency to play things down. 😉 ) ‘Quite interesting.’ Hmmnnn.
Today though, it’s rather dumb. Well, I think so. (And I’m not convinced it’s grammatically correct either. Just sayin’.)
‘Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?’Easy! Simply put – their ‘existence.‘ There – that was a short blog post. Sorted.
OK – a little bit more. I’m certain I’m not the only short person in the world; there’s probably another short man somewhere who rocks a daft mohawk hairstyle at 67 years of age; more, there’s probably some dude who’s short, old, with an age-inappropriate haircut and plays pickleball; probably has a large record collection too; and enjoys writing. And is a bit of an idiot.
All those mentioned above can take a seat.
Now, the field of similarity has decreased dramatically, I should think. So how many of those still standing, worked in Banking for 28 years; then worked with dogs and other household pets for 18?
Aye – not many left now. Ok, who can also say they’ve had a gun pointed at their face during a bank raid? Or survived an Out of Hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest?
Yaaay! I win! 🙂
I’m willing to bet all of this week’s pocket-money, there’s nobody else in the world fulfills all the criteria that’s required to be me. ‘Coz I’m special. I’m unique.
And so are you. And the next person; and the next.
We are not ‘unique’ because of our looks or our actions or our attitudes. There will always be someone, somewhere can match them. We are unique because of a combination of things. We are unique because of circumstances, good or bad.
We are unique because of a combination of circumstances in our very existence.
We are each, ‘the one and only …’

***Apologies – that was rubbish post. Totally kack. As I said earlier in the week, I can’t do ‘serious,’ very well. ***‘

bit of a long shot here, perhaps, but I'm looking for Haudenosaunee tattoo artists in Ontario (though, I would be willing to travel into Quebec if needed) who might be interested in a simple wampum-based tattoo on a white settler. If that's you, or you know someone who might be interested, please pass my name and contact along /reach out! thank you!

How to #decolonize your #Thanksgiving dinner in observance of #NationalDayofMourning
Meredith Clark
Wed, November 22, 2023"Thanksgiving is almost upon us, a time when many #Americans gather together to eat turkey and talk about what they’re most thankful for. Growing up in the #UnitedStates, almost everyone can recall the 'First Thanksgiving' story they were told in elementary school: how the local #Wampanoag #NativeAmericans sat down with the #pilgrims of #Plymouth Colony in 1621, in what is now present-day #Massachusetts, for a celebratory feast.
"However, this story is far from the truth - which is why many people opt out of celebrating the controversial holiday.
"For many #Indigenous communities throughout the US, Thanksgiving remains a National Day of Mourning - a reminder of the devastating #genocide and #displacement that occurred at the hands of European #colonisers following their arrival in the Americas.
"Every year since 1970, #IndigenousPeople and their allies have even gathered near #PlymouthRock to commemorate a National #DayOfMourning on the day of Thanksgiving. 'Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the erasure of Native cultures,' states the official website for the United American Indians of New England. 'Participants in National Day of Mourning honour Indigenous #ancestors and Native resilience. It is a day of #remembrance and #spiritual connection, as well as a #protest against the #racism and #oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience #worldwide.'
"This year, the 54th annual National Day of Mourning takes place on 23 November - the same day as Thanksgiving. While not everyone can support the event in person, there are still many ways people can raise awareness toward issues affecting Indigenous communities from wherever they are - by '#decolonising' their Thanksgiving dinner.
"#Decolonisation can be defined as the active resistance against #settlerColonialism and a shifting of power towards Indigenous sovereignty. Of course, it’s difficult to define decolonisation without putting it into practice, writes Eve Tuck and K Wayne Yang in their essay, #Decolonization Is Not a Metaphor. Rather, one of the most radical and necessary moves toward decolonisation requires imagining and enacting a future for Indigenous peoples - a future based on terms of their own making.
"Matt Hooley is an assistant professor in the department of Native American and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth College, where he teaches about US colonial powers and Indigenous cultural production. 'Decolonisation is a beautiful and difficult political horizon that should guide our actions everyday, including during holidays like Thanksgiving,' he tells The Independent. 'Of course, Thanksgiving is a particularly relevant holiday to think about decolonisation because the way many people celebrate it involves connecting ‘the family’ to a colonial myth in which colonialism is inaccurately imagined as a peaceful event in the past.'
"By decolonising our Thanksgiving, we can celebrate the holiday with new traditions that honour a future in which Indigenous people are celebrated. This year, we can start by understanding the real history behind Thanksgiving as told by actual Indigenous communities.
"While Americans mainly dedicate one day a year to give thanks, Indigenous communities express gratitude every day with the #Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address - often called: 'The words that come before all else.' The Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address is the central prayer and invocation for the #HaudenosauneeConfederacy, which comprises the #SixNations - #Mohawk, #Oneida, #Onondaga, #Cayuga, #Seneca, and #Tuscarora. When one recites the Thanksgiving Address, they’re giving thanks for all life and the natural world around them.
"According to Hooley, one of the most straightforward actions people can take to decolonise their Thanksgiving includes supporting Indigenous land acknowledgments and land back movements. #LandBack is an ongoing Indigenous-led movement which seeks to return ancestral lands to Indigenous people and the recognition of Indigenous #sovereignty. While the movement is nowhere near new, it received international attention in 2016 during protests against the #DakotaAccesSPipeline - which continues to disrupt land and #water sources belonging to the #StandingRockSioux Tribe.
"This year, sit down with family and friends to discuss an action plan and highlight the concrete steps you plan on taking to support Indigenous communities. 'Another, even simpler way would be to begin participating in what’s called a ‘Voluntary Land Tax,’ whereby non-Indigenous people contribute a recurring tax to the tribal communities whose land you occupy,' said Hooley.
"Food is perhaps the most important part of the Thanksgiving holiday, with turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes taking center stage. However, there are many ways we can make sure our dinner tables honour Indigenous futurisms too. Donald A Grinde, Jr is a professor emeritus in the department of Africana and American Studies at the University at Buffalo. Grinde - who is a member of the #YamasseeNation - tells The Independent that crops such as #corn, #beans, #squash, #tomatoes, and #potatoes are central to #IndigenousHistory and future.
"'A good thing is to be thankful for the abundance in the fall and note that Native people created over 60 percent of modern #agricultural #crops,' he said. 'People can be thankful for the crops that Native people created, #medicines created, and traditions about #democracy, #WomensRights and #environmental rights.'
"Rather than buying food from major corporations this year, Hooly also recommended people consciously source their Thanksgiving dinner from Indigenous producers. 'Industrial agriculture is one of the most devastating contributors to the destruction of land and water everywhere, including on Indigenous land,' he said. 'Instead of buying food grown or made by colonial corporations, people could buy their food from Indigenous producers, or even simply make a greater effort to buy locally grown food or not to buy meat harvested from industrial farms.'
"Thanksgiving is just a day away. While it’s important that we’re actively working toward highlighting Indigenous communities on this special holiday, decolonisation efforts are something that should be done year-round.
"'People can also learn about political priorities of the Indigenous communities near them and support those priorities by speaking to their representatives, participating in a protest, or by making sure that their local school and library boards are including Indigenous texts in local community education,' Hooley said."

Yes! Finally some sense! The deal Quebec has with Kahnawake, while it works for that community, is discriminatory against other #Indigenous peoples, including other #Mohawk communities.

#Akwesasne is part of the #Mohawk Nation, one of the six nations of the #Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Its residents’ #AncestralTerritory, which includes Barnhart Island, extends across the #Canada - #USA border, and includes parts of #Ontario, #Quebec and #NewYork state. For decades, factories surrounding the reserve dumped now-banned chemicals into the #StLawrenceRiver, #contaminating the land and water. But Barnhart Island is upstream of the contamination — the breeze is still sweet and the water is clear. And soon, Akswesasne #TribalGovernment may sign a settlement agreement with the State of New York, ceding its title to the island forever.
For the #LandDefenders who were arrested, reclaiming #BarnhartIsland goes hand-in-hand with protecting what’s left of their territory that is still healthy enough for them to gather medicine, hunt, fish, conduct ceremonies and heal. They aren’t willing to sell their homeland — not for any price.
Freelance #journalist Brandi Morin and #photojournalist Ian Willms spent five days on the territory in June to document the fight for clean land.

The Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline would run from Dawson Creek to Kitimat, B.C., through traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en
CBC
19 January 2024"An abuse of process hearing for three people found guilty of criminal #contempt of court for blocking work on the #CoastalGasLink #pipeline in November 2021 is being adjourned until June.
"Two weeks were scheduled this month in B.C. Supreme Court in Smithers for a trial and abuse of process application for #Sleydo', also known as #MollyWickham, a Wing Chief of #CasYikh, a house group of the #Gidimten Clan of the Wet'suwet'en Nation; #ShaylynnSampson, a #Gitxsan woman with Wet'suwet'en family ties and #CoreyJocko, who is Kanien'kehá:ka (#Mohawk) from #Akwesasne, which straddles the Quebec, Ontario and New York state borders.
"The accused were found guilty last Friday by Justice Michael Tammen of criminal contempt of court for breaking a 2019 injunction that impedes anyone from blocking work on the Coastal GasLink pipeline.
"Tammen then began hearing the abuse of process application that alleges #RCMP used excessive force when they were arrested and that they were treated unfairly while in custody.
"The filing asks if the judge doesn't stay their charges, then it would be appropriate to reduce their sentences based on their treatment by police.
"Several RCMP witnesses have testified so far about the two-day raid in November 2021 enforcing the injunction.
"Const. Mark Freeman and Cpl. Colin Warwick, who were in charge of police dogs on scene, testified on Friday.
"They told the court that the dogs were there to look for people who may be hiding in the area or detect possible booby traps, but they found no people or booby traps.
"During two days of testimony earlier this week, Supt. James Elliott spoke about factors that played a role in deciding the resources used to enforce the injunction.
"Elliott said he was considering information about half-cut trees along the side of the forest service road that had potential to fall, a social media post that indicated weapons were hidden under the snow in the area, the possibility of booby traps along the road and use of the Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) warrior flag, that police thought indicated heightened #activism.
"Several other police witnesses also mentioned the potential for booby traps but no one said any were found.
"During cross-examination of the RCMP witnesses, defence lawyer Frances Mahon told the court the social media post was referring to the #Haudenosaunee great law of peace, in which five warring nations bury their weapons under a pine tree to unite.
"Mahon also played audio recordings in which officers can be heard referring to people being arrested as 'orcs' and 'ogre.' In another recording, RCMP officers can be heard laughing about an officer beating a person being arrested and grabbing and twisting their testicles.
"When the hearing resumes, the defence is expected to call several witnesses, including the three accused.
"The hearing is expected to resume in Smithers June 17-21."

#Akwesasne8 DISMISSED. #NewYorkPowerAuthority fails to produce documents necessary to move forward.
By Akwesasne 8, via #CensoredNews, Nov. 12, 2024
"The charges of Conspiracy to a Felony, and #Trespassing against the six of the Akwesasne 8, who appeared today, were dismissed today at Massena Town Court. The District Attorney stated that New York Power Authority (#NYPA) did not produce appropriate documents to move forward
"Researchers for the Akwesasne 8 had gone to the St. Lawrence County Office for Deeds and Records to find a Deed/Land Title showing NYPA ownership. There is no record. When discovery documents were offered to the Akwesasne 8, each asked whether the documents contained a Title to the land on which the Akwesasne 8 were arrested. The District Attorney implied such documents were not part of the discovery packets.
"In March 2022, Federal Judge Kahn of the Northern New York District of US Federal Court, ruled that New York State possession of #Mohawk land is a violation of the #NonintercourseAct which prohibits land transfer of Indian land to non-Indians without Congressional approval.
"On May 22, 2024 eight Kanienke’háka were arrested for Trespassing at #Niionenhiasekówahne (Barnhart Island). Seven of the eight were charged with Conspiracy to a Felony. One person was charged with a Felony.
There is a long history of #Onkwehonwe relations to Niionenhiasekowá:ne (Barnhart Island) - from the Dish With One Spoon Agreement, to Onkwehonwe families living on the island, and continue today through Kanienke’háka assertion of hunting, fishing, tree tapping, and #MedicineGathering liberties."The Akwesasne Mohawk #LandClaimSettlement agreement seeks to sever Onkwehonwe relationship to Niionenhiasekowá:ne, formally ceding the island's title to New York State for $70 million and subjecting our hunting and gathering rights to foreign governments.
The Onkwehonwe that began construction at Niionenhiasekowá:ne acted in assertion of Kanienke’háka inherent and original rights as well as the pre-existing governance of Kaienerekowa.“'The Band Council, Tribe, state and federal governments are outside Kaienerekowa governance as younger governmental entities cannot and will not ostracize us from our lands and waters,' said one of the Akwesasne 8.
"'We are going back to Niionenhiasekowá:ne because it is Kanienke’háka land,' a group of the Akwesasne 8 stated."

Another churchly #ChildKiller retires behind smoke and mirrors: The Case of #JustinWelby.
Raping a child and protecting those who do is as Christian as crucifixion. So no doubt the world is emitting a big yawn today as Justin Welby resigns as #Archbishop of Canterbury after being caught covering for his sadistic child-torturing friend John Smyth.
After all, #Anglican and #Catholic clergy are required by their standing policy of #CrimenSollicitationas to do precisely what Welby did and protect #ChildRapists in their church.
In its typical facile, dissimulating manner, the media has treated Welby’s protection of the brutal child-rapist John Smyth as a one-time, episodic event. In fact, Archbishop Welby is himself a notorious repeat offender who has blood on his hands. The malfeasance of this former #oil company executive turned Anglican #cleric goes way back.
During the first accredited excavation of children’s #MassGraves at the murderous Anglican #Mohawk #ResidentialSchool in #Brantford, #Ontario during 2011, Archbishop Welby ordered all the school records and gravesites destroyed.
During the summer of 2014, Justin Welby was named as a co-conspirator in #ChildTrafficking and killing by a #Brussels based #CitizensTribunal and found guilty of #CrimesAgainstHumanity. Part of the evidence presented to the Tribunal concerned Welby’s participation in a #CatholicAnglican child sacrificial #cult known as the #NinthCircle that operated extensively in the #Canadian ‘Indian #ResidentialSchools and implicates British, Dutch, and Belgian ‘royalty’.
The complicity doesn’t end there. It involves the world’s second biggest #mining company and a close associate and funder of Donald #Trump: Rio Tinto, whose biggest investors include the British royal family. Justin Welby’s ties to #RioTinto Mining and to more murder cropped up in September of 2022, when Tinto and its Canadian subsidiary, #StarDiamondMining, dealt with some “troublesome Indians” on the James Smith #Cree reservation in eastern #Saskatchewan.
After refusing to allow Rio Tinto to begin diamond mining on their land, ten members of the James Smith tribe were #murdered in one night. The alleged killer was a drug addict and drifter who conveniently died in #RCMP custody the next day. Six of the ten murdered people were relatives of Rio Tinto’s biggest opponent among the James Smith Cree natives, Chief Wally Burns.
